Naphthalene 79 15 52 10
Other Exposure A time weighted average (TWA) has been established for Naphthalene (Safe Work
Information Australia) of 52 mg/m³, (10 ppm). The corresponding STEL level is 79 mg/m³,
(15 ppm). The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that
should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for
more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between
successive exposures at the STEL. The exposure value at the TWA is the average
airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal
8 hour working day for a 5 day working week.
Engineering In industrial situations maintain the concentrations values below the TWA.
Controls This may be achieved by process modification, use of local exhaust
ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Toxicity is most common following ingestion of large
doses. Death has occurred after ingestion, but cessation of exposure and the
use of blood transfusions have increased the survival rate. Nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and anorexia may occur up to 48 hours following
acute ingestion. Other effects reported include severe digestive tract
irritation, tenesmus and gastrointestinal bleeding. In severe cases, ingestion
caused gastroenteric distress. Acute intravascular haemolysis is the most
characteristic sign. It begins on the 3rd day and is accompanied by anaemia,
leukocytosis, fever, haemoglobinuria, jaundice, renal insufficiency, and
sometimes, disturbances in liver function. Severe haemolytic anaemia is more
common in infants and in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
(G-6-PD) deficiency, sickle cell anaemia, or sickle cell trait; haemolysis in
normal individuals occurs only with exposure to very high levels. The renal,
neurologic and liver effects may be secondary to the haemolytic anaemia. May
cause methaemoglobinaemia, cyanosis, convulsions, and death. One case of
aplastic anaemia has also been reported. In severe cases of ingestion, the
bone marrow may appear hyperplastic and show an increased proportion of
nucleated erythrocytes. Hypotension and shock are rare, but may occur in
patients with severe toxicity. Facial flushing may occur. Anaemia may result
in pallor. Hyperkalemia may occur following significant haemolysis.
Hyperphosphatemia and mild hypocalcemia were reported in one case. Signs and
symptoms of exposure may include diaphoresis, profuse perspiration and
swelling of parotid glands. Other effects reported include liver injury.
Hyperbilirubinaemia and fatal kernicterus may occur in newborns with
significant haemolysis. Centrilobular necrosis occurred in one pediatric
poisoning case. Hepatomegaly and jaundice are uncommon. Splenomegaly may
occur. May cause renal effects. May produce irritation of the urinary bladder,
with urgency, dysuria, and the passage of a dark brown, red or black urine
with or without albumin and casts. Haematuria and oliguria have also been

noted. In severe cases, Naphthalene-induced haemolysis may cause
haemoglobinuria, acute tubular necrosis and possible occlusion of the renal
tubules, and altered renal functions. In the absence of adequate supportive
treatment, death may result from acute renal failure in adults. The neurologic
symptoms of naphthalene ingestion reported in human case studies include
headache, confusion, changes in behaviour, altered sensorium, listlessness and
lethargy, and vertigo. Muscle twitching, convulsions, decreased responses to
painful stimuli, and coma occurred prior to death in individuals who ingested
naphthalene. Seizures and coma have been rarely reported in patients and
represent severe toxicity. At autopsy, the brain has appeared oedematous with
separation of neural fibres and swelling of myelin sheaths being noted
histologically. The neurologic symptomatology could result from the cerebral
oedema, which was probably secondary to acute haemolysis. Signs and symptoms
of exposure may include optic neuritis, conjunctivitis, and lenticular
opacities in peripheral portions. Tachycardia and flow murmurs secondary to
acute haemolytic anaemia have been reported. Dysrhythmias secondary to renal
failure or haemolysis-induced hyperkalemia have been reported in cases of
severe toxicity. Cardiovascular shock can occur in patients with severe
haemolytic anaemia. Respiratory distress, respiratory failure, and pulmonary
oedema have been reported infrequently. In severe cases of ingestion, death
may ensue due to respiratory failure. Ingestion is not a typical route of
occupational exposure. A mean lethal dose in non-sensitive adults has been
estimated at about 5-15 g.
Inhalation Dust, fumes or vapour may be irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory
tract. High vapour concentrations may cause headache, nausea, abdominal pain,
dizziness, confusion, excitement, sometimes vomiting, and extensive sweating.
Little information is available on the effects of inhaled naphthalene on human
health. Effects may be similar to those for ingestion. Haemolytic anaemia
(destruction of red blood cells) is the primary health concern for humans
exposed to naphthalene for either short or long periods of time. Other effects
commonly found include nausea, profuse perspiration, vomiting, diarrhoea,
kidney damage, dysuria, hematuria, jaundice (yellowish skin and eyes) and
liver damage. Optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve) has been
observed. Cataracts have also occurred. Two case studies have reported ocular
effects (predominantly cataracts) in workers exposed to naphthalene.
Inhalation was assumed to be the primary route of exposure. Exposure to
naphthalene from large numbers of mothballs (300-500) has produced headache,
nausea, malaise, confusion, vomiting, abdominal pain and kidney disease
(effects not described) in several individuals.
Skin Pure naphthalene may cause mild skin irritation. Crude, unrefined naphthalene
may be moderately irritating. Some people may be hypersensitive to naphthalene
and develop severe skin rash/dermatitis (itching, swelling, erythema) on
contact. Lesions clear spontaneously, as soon as the exposure is terminated.
The incidence of skin hypersensitivity does not appear to be widespread in the
general population, based on the long history of use of naphthalene as a
consumer product. This effect is largely confined to industrial exposure where
coal tar contamination may be present. One case of exfoliative contact
dermatitis has been reported. Danger of skin absorption. Health effects have
been reported in infants through skin absorption of naphthalene, which may
have been facilitated by applications of baby oil. Effects may be similar to
those for ingestion.
Eye Particles of naphthalene may cause reversible eye injury if they remain in
prolonged contact with the eye. Eye contact with the solid material may result
in conjunctivitis, superficial injury to the cornea, corneal clouding, and
diminished visual acuity. Distinct eye irritation occurs at vapour
concentrations above 15 ppm. It has been suggested that continued exposure at
this level or higher may result in fairly serious eye effects. Very high
exposures can damage the nerves of the eye. Toxicity by other routes of
exposure may produce cataracts and optic neuritis.

Group 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans.

Chronic Effects Chronic abuse of mothballs containing naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene was
reported to cause peripheral neuropathy and chronic renal failure. Chronic
inhalation can cause liver necrosis. Cases of eye injury, including rare cases
of corneal ulceration and cataracts, have been reported as a result of
long-term exposure by inhalation or ingestion. Ophthalmic effects from chronic
exposure include optical neuritis, lens opacities (cataracts), and
chorioretinitis. Chronic exposure may cause anaemia and other blood cell
abnormalities. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis
(itching, redness, scaling, weeping and crusting) and systemic poisoning.

Section 12 - Ecological Information
Ecotoxicity High concentrations are toxic to aquatic life. May cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment. Hazard for drinking water supplies. The
contamination of rivers and soil should be avoided even in small quantities.
The product is not readily biodegradable.
Persistence and Biologic degradation: Hardly eliminable.
Degradability In air, naphthalene rapidly degrades by reaction with photo
chemically-produced hydroxyl radicals. In water, it undergoes volatilization
photolysis, adsorption, and biodegradation. On soil, it is slightly adsorbed
and also biodegraded.
Degradability: BOD 0 % from TOD /5 d; COD 22 % from TOD, TOD: 2.99 g/g.
Mobility The mean Koc value of naphthalene in sediment samples from 2 ponds and 1 river
from north Georgia, US was 1,300. The Koc of naphthalene in 5 different soils
from Japan ranged from 440-830. The mean Koc value of naphthalene in 17 soils
throughout the US was 871. According to a classification scheme, these Koc
values suggest that naphthalene is expected to have moderate to low mobility
in soil.
Bioaccumulative Behaviour in environmental compartments: BCF: >200.
Potential The BCF of naphthalene at a water concentration of 0.15 mg/l ranged from 36.5
to 168 in carp, over an 8 week exposure period. The BCF of naphthalene at a
water concentration of 0.015 mg/l ranged from 23 to 146 in carp, over an 8
week exposure period. According to a classification scheme, these BCF values
suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to
high.
